I'm a little confused by the complaints about this spring. Maybe it's because I'm used to the relentless sea breezes on the South Shore, but this spring has been well above average in terms of temperature and overall weather. My ambient station, which is well-sited and typically runs highs somewhere between LGA and FRG, is showing an average high temperature of 57.3 from March 1 through today: 52.6 in March and 63.4 in April. That feels closer to a Central Jersey spring than a Long Island one. Even the data that @bluewave shared shows JFK/ISP at 55.5/54.3 average spring-to-date, versus normals of 52.7 and 51.9 with precip below normal. Definitely been warm since 3/1 or so. With regard to April have to consider the 5 days of +20 to +30 skewing things abit. But I'm in your camp-so far we've done ok this spring. Some years it seems like we get days and days of stratus and 45 degrees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best weather months here are Sept-Oct when you still have the warmed up ocean waters but the heat waves are over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my expectations are appropriately low given the climate. We could also live in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted 7 minutes ago Share Posted 7 minutes ago Today ended up being a perfect spring day. Mid 60s when I went for a run earlier. As soon as the wind switched to SE the temp dropped but it’s still nice in the sun. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
